Methinks the lady Nicola doth protesteth too much!

Nicola Sturgeon has demanded an inquiry into the leaking of a memo about her private meeting with the French Ambassador as she angrily denied claims that she told ambassador Sylvie Bermann that she would prefer to see Conservatives remain in power after the May 7 General Election.

The trouble [from Nicola’s point of view] is the suggestion that she prefers Cameron to Miliband is all too credible, all too feasible! Who doubts that she would see more advantage in opposing another Tory [ie ‘English’] government to promote another Scottish independence referendum than having a ‘progressive’ Ed Miliband in No 10.
